Proverbs 10

Today I read through Proverbs 10 and decided to do something different. There are references to the wise/just/righteous vs. the wicked throughout the chapter. I took out a piece of scrap paper made two columns and listed out each one I found. It was really amazing to look back and read all the different references God has for us in this one little chapter. Since I don't know how to make two columns in this post, here is what I found starting with the wise list first, then followed by the wicked.

Wise

1. maketh a glad father
2. will not famish
3. gathereth in the summer
4. blessings on their head
5. the memory of them is blessed
6. they will receive commandments
7. their mouth is a well of life
8. their mouth has knowledge
9. their labor equals life
10. refraineth their lips
11. their tongue is choice silver
12. their lips feed many
13. desires of them will be granted
14. they are an everlasting foundation
15. their fear of the Lord prolongs their days
16. their hope is gladness
17. way of the Lord is strength
18. they shall never be removed
19. their mouths know what is acceptable.

Then the list for the wicked:

1. they are heaviness for their mother
2. their substance is cast away
3. sleepeth in harvest
4. violence covereth him
5. his name shall rot
6. they shall fall
7. their mouth is violence
8. their mouth is destruction
9. their fruit is sin
10. heart of the wicked is of little worth
11. they die for want of wisdom
12. fear cometh upon them
13. as a whirlwind passeth so the wicked shall be no more
14. their years are shortened
15. wicked shall not inhabit the earth
16. they speaketh forwardness

It's quite a list I know but it was a different perspective for me, and brought in a new method of learning. I think I may try this again tomorrow. But looking back made me realize how God blesses those that seek after Him, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness..."
